A 3 year old US boy received a fine of $2,500 for urinating in his front yard. A police officer saw Dillan Warden pull down his pants and issued the ticket, which will cost the family the $2,500.

His mother said he was being potty trained and at the time when he got a call of nature while away from the toilet he just did the most sensible thing and peed in his front yard.

Mrs. Warden, of Piedmont, Oklahoma, said: "Dillan pulled down his pants to pee outside... and the cop pulled up and asked for my license and told me he was going to give me a ticket for public urination."

Grandmother Jennifer Warden added: "I said: 'Really? He is three years old', and he said: 'It doesn't matter. It is public urination.'

"I said: 'We are on our property', and he said: 'It's in public view'."

The family, which lives on two-and-a-half acres of land, have complained that the officer which issued the ticket parks at the end of their street daily.

They hope a judge will throw out the case when it comes before a court next month.

We understand public indecency and any other laws but the child is only three years old, he doesn’t know a word in his own nursery book yet you fine him for peeing in his front yard? Somebody slap some sense to this officer.
